WWE might as well stick that purple Money In The Bank briefcase in cold storage until after WrestleMania. Previously, Damian Priest cashing in on Seth Rollins was one of the more compelling story beats the company had on Mondays, but CM Punk's shocking return changes everything on that front.

Sadly, Mr. Priest has to bide his time once again.

That's OK, because creative shouldn't be in some huge rush to cash in his chips anyway. Remember, they've got until summer to decide what they're going to do with Priest's MITB privileges, so it'd be wise to sit on that in the interim now Rollins has bigger fish to fry.

Rhea Ripley's shocked expressions at WarGames told the full story. She was ready to help Damian cash in when Randy Orton spoiled the moment for Judgment Day. Priest can either be p*ssed at that and target Orton, or he can focus on the Undisputed Tag Titles in the short-term.
